Album creating apparatus, album generating method and program

An album creating method, comprising:

• an image storing step of storing images correlating with image capturing-times of the images;
• a distribution-of-image-capturing-time calculating step of calculating a distribution of image capturing-times of the plurality of images stored in said image storing step based on the image capturing-times of the plurality of images stored in said image storing step;
• an image sorting step of sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing step per page in the album based on the distribution of image capturing-times calculated by said distribution-of-image-capturing-time calculating step;
• and
• a layout determining step of laying out the images sorted by said image sorting step per page to each page of the album.

A program for an album creating apparatus for creating an album, for operating said album creating apparatus as:

• an image storing section for storing images correlating with image capturing-times of the images;
• a distribution-of-image-capturing-time calculating section for calculating a distribution of image capturing-times of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section based on the image capturing-times of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section;
• an image sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the distribution of image capturing-times calculated by said distribution-of-image-capturing-time calculating section;
• and
• a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted by said image sorting section per page to each page of the album.

An album creating apparatus, comprising:

• an image storing section for storing images correlating with image capturing positions of the images;
• a distribution of image capturing position calculating section for calculating a distribution of image capturing positions of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section based on the image capturing positions of the plurality of images stored in said image storing section;
• an image sorting section for sorting the plurality of images stored in said image storing section per page in the album based on the distribution of image capturing positions calculated by said distribution of image capturing position calculating section;
• and
• a layout determining section for laying out the images sorted by said image sorting section per page to each page of the album.
